you make me new, you are making me new

Things to smile about today...

11 people jammed into one tiny car, all smiling, eating, and laughing together.

Driving 80 mph on a small road surrounded by children, dogs, busses, massive potholes, heavy machinery, I could go on all day…

Vehicles using blinkers, from every which side of the road and going all directions…no matter which way there is a blinker.  Oh the IRONY.

A FEMALE moto taxi driver (the first one I have seen). 

Naked babies everyday, everywhere.  Never fails to bring on a smile.

A small boy kissing and hugging…a chicken.  Mind you people don’t have pets here.  Chickens, cows, dogs, cats they all roam about all over.  No name giving or feeding  or poop cleaning responsibilities. 

Lady Gaga on the radio.

A full vehicle, a man sitting to the LEFT of the driver, and 3 people on his right.  If only I had a photo, it was a lovely sight. 

"Lord,
Make me an instrument of your peace;
Where there is hatred let me sow love;
Where there is injury pardon;
Where there is doubt faith;
Where there is despair hope;
Where there is darkness light;
Where there is sadness joy.

O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love,
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning, that we are pardoned,
It is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance.
Where there is patience and humility, there is neither anger nor vexation.
Where there is poverty and joy, there is neither greed nor avarice.
Where there is peace and meditation, there is neither anxiety nor doubt."
